Those look real nice. Now I know what one of my rocks is What is the origin of sodalite?

Good batch! They look well done. Do you notice that the white parts take less of a shine than the blue? At least they did on mine.

My rock book says that sodalite comes from all over - Brazil, amibia, Canada, and etc...

Thanks everyone you are too kind. The shine did not come through in the picture like I wanted. Gwalys - the seller said this batch (I bought 15#) is from Brazil but it does come from a lot of different places so....... Joe - Yes, I have found the white take less of a shine but I have found that Running it through 2 burnishing stages brings the white up to match to blues. Not normal huh but it works for me. Dave.
